JET’s latest innovation, the JDP-20S Smart Drill Press, is redefining what accuracy and control look like in a woodworking shop. As the first digitally intelligent drill press in the JET lineup, it brings touchscreen technology, brushless power, and industrial-grade stability together in one smart package.
Smarter Work Starts Here
At the heart of the JDP-20S is its 5-inch digital touchscreen, giving users full control over speed, materials, and tool selection. Instead of trial-and-error drilling, the interface recommends optimal RPMs based on bit size and material type, whether you’re cutting hardwood, aluminum, or acrylic.
Users can select from 22 tool profiles and 7 material options, store up to 15 custom presets, and lock in their settings with password protection, a must-have for schools and shared workspaces. The built-in load monitoring safeguards tools and ensures consistent torque from start to finish.
Power and Precision Without Guesswork
Belt adjustments are officially a thing of the past. The 1.5 HP brushless motor delivers smooth, direct-drive performance from 150 to 3,000 RPM, producing steady power with minimal noise and zero maintenance. A variable-speed knob allows fine-tuning on the fly, while the laser alignment guide and integrated LED light enhance precision and visibility for every project.
This combination of digital speed control and brushless torque means cleaner holes, longer tool life, and a dramatically easier workflow, even for first-time users.
Bigger Capacity for Bolder Projects
Engineered for versatility, the 20-inch swing and 6-inch spindle travel expand project capacity far beyond typical mid-range presses. The cast-iron table tilts 90° left or right and rotates 360°, supporting complex angles and clamping setups without losing alignment.
From cabinetry to light manufacturing, the JDP-20S is JET’s largest woodworking-focused drill press ever produced, giving users the space and control they need for creative, large-scale builds.
Built to Last
A heavy-duty cast-iron frame, precision-ground table, and steel column eliminate vibration for stable drilling across all materials. Every component reflects JET’s industrial heritage, dependable, rigid, and made for decades of shop use.
And with an industry-leading 5-year warranty, the JDP-20S outperforms competitive models like the NOVA Voyager (2-year) and Laguna DP|20 (1-year) in both durability and coverage.
Who It’s Made For
Professional Woodworkers: demand repeatable results and efficient changeovers for daily production.
DIY Enthusiasts: want high-end precision in a user-friendly format.
Educational Programs: value safety features such as password locks and intuitive controls for new operators.
Light Manufacturing Shops: rely on consistent torque and digital accuracy for repetitive processes.
No matter the environment, the JDP-20S turns setup time into productivity time.
